I just heard this: > As Justice Samuel Alito [noted](https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1539980793963053056) in a concurrent opinion, “The New York law at issue in this case obviously did not stop that preparatory,” referring to the 18-year-old who shot and killed ten Black people and injured three others in a racially-motivated rampage at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo last month. [**SOURCE**](https://www.salon.com/2022/06/23/cites-buffalo-mass-in-decision-striking-down-new-yorks-law/) I find it said, lamentable, and regrettable when a Supreme Court Justice apparently – at least in part – makes such a consequential ruling based on such a clear logical fallacy. I guess we should expect the SC to strike down any law, anywhere, that is being violated (ie, that doesn’t eliminate every single case of that which it makes illegal). It’s effectively nothing more than an NRA talking point. > **Example** > > We’re always told about the strict gun laws in Mexico, and then told that they still have a high rate of gun violence. Okay, but take away those Mexican gun control laws, one at a time, and let’s see what happens _to_ the rate of gun violence. ---

> [@Mijin](#): > > Secondly of course, there _are_ restrictions on pools. Public pools have to have a lifeguard, limits on depth (and a minimum depth, for a pool with a diving board), chlorination guidelines etc. This probably varies state-to-state in the US, but that’s besides the point. Sometimes you’re required to build a fence around them!

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. So you can be sure that the guys openly carrying guns are outlaws. When open carry of all guns is legal, ALL the outlaws will have guns, and you won’t be able to tell which ones they are. ---

Yesterday in Atlanta, a man shot and killed one worker at Subway and injured another because they put too much mayo on his sandwich. This is America. > **[Atlanta Subway worker shot dead for putting too much mayo on sandwich](https://nypost.com/2022/06/27/atlanta-subway-worker-killed-over-too-much-mayo-on-sandwich/)** > > The shooting erupted at a Subway inside a downtown Atlanta gas station at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday after the disgruntled customer became irate over his order, police said.

Georgia allows concealed carry without a license. This kind of incident is why I am opposed to such loose gun laws. Even if someone doesn’t leave their house intending to commit a crime, they can turn into a murderer with one anger management failure. ---

I recently watched a video about Atlanta and it showed a couple kids selling water at an intersection. One of the boys showed the interviewer/cameraman a bag that contained two handguns. The interviewer asked the people giving him the tour if that was common and they said basically everyone carries guns now that it’s legal to carry concealed. Sounds like a great idea. 🙄 ---
